Description

As enthralling as any work of fiction, A Thousand Miles up the Nile is the quintessential Victorian trip book.

In 1873, Amelia B. Edwards, a Victorian gentlewoman, spent the winter visiting the then in large part unspoiled splendors of ancient Egypt. An accurate and sympathetic observer, she brings nineteenth-century Egypt to life. A Thousand Miles up the Nile was once an instant hit in 1876, and is received with equal enthusiasm by up to date readers.

Fans of Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody Emerson mystery series will see similarities between the 2 Amelias. More importantly, A Thousand Miles up the Nile provides a wealth of background information and detail for you to increase your figuring out and enjoyment of Peters’ novels.

This Norton Creek Press edition of A Thousand Miles up the Nile is an exact reproduction of the lavishly illustrated 1890 edition by Routledge and Sons. For more Norton Creek classic reprints, consult with http://www.nortoncreekpress.com.

Amelia B. Edwards was once an writer and co-founding father of the Egypt Exploration Fund.
